Brocoli Soup is what’s for dinner…
Broccoli Soup is a staple in our house, especially when broccoli is in season. But, it’s a vegetable you can get year round, so it can always be prepared. It is fast, easy, and healthy, not to mention yummy. I could always seem to get my kids to eat this soup, which made this mom very happy.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, roughly chopped
- 2 heads broccoli, roughly chopped including peeled stems
- 2-3 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 4 cups or more vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION:
- Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a heavy bottom pot over a medium high heat
- Sauté the onion
- When onion begins to sweat, add broccoli and carrots
- Add enough vegetable broth to almost cover vegetables
- Simmer covered until vegetables are tender, about 30-45 minutes
Broccoli soup in the making…
- Puree the soup either with a submersion blender, blender, or Cuisinart
- Salt and pepper to taste
Serve with a salad and crusty bread and you’re good to go. Enjoy!
THIS RECIPE IS VERY FLEXIBLE HINTS:

- You can also choose to not fully puree and leave some texture to the soup.
- You can serve hot or cold.
- A little sharp cheese on top adds a perfect topping.
